2D Shapes by Jack Hartmann is a great educational song for children learning about 2D shapes.

In Shape Up, children see the different shapes and then draw the shape in the air using their arms.

The songs shows a number of 2D shapes for kids. The names of shapes appear on screen with the shape in a large clear font.

A nice beat will keep them moving and having fun while they learn all about 2D shapes!

Lyrics:

Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle

Spread your feet out wide, put your arms out front

Circle round and round, everyone shape up

Make a square in the air, feel your muscles pump

Use your legs and arms, everyone shape up

Now let’s make shapes all together, don’t you stop

Follow me and move your body, let’s shape up

Circle

Go round like the sun, go round like a ball

A circle, a circle has no straight lines at all

We made a circle

Square

Straight line down then across, back up then one more line

A square, a square has four equal sides

We made a square

Triangle

Slant down, then across, slant back up high

A triangle, triangle only has three sides

We made a triangle

Rectangle

Line short, line long, line short, then straight home

A rectangle, a rectangle, two short and two long

We made a rectangle

Oval

Squish a circle down, go all the way around

An oval, an oval, no straight lines to be found

We made an oval

Spread your feet out wide, put your arms out front

Circle round and round, everyone shape up

Make a square in the air, feel your muscles pump

Use your legs and arms, everyone shape up

Now let’s make shapes all together, don’t you stop

Follow me and move your body, let’s shape up

Shapes are all around, just look they can be found

A box can be a square, a wheel is a circle

A teepee is a triangle, a house can be a rectangle

A football is an oval, look around, shape up!

This educational song is on my album, Every 1 Counts.
